In 2012 my old theater co made a show called Flying Snakes in 3D!!!- a satire about independently wealthy white people making theater. It got a huge backlash on theater Facebook (lol when that was a thing). Most of the pple criticizing didn’t see the show but I was so sad (1) https://twitter.com/leahnanako/status/1264176343438315521">https://twitter.com/leahnanak...

Now the convo has shifted which is great. But know there was a time called 2012 when yt people thought all u had to do to succeed in theater as a POC without family money was to be like the Wooster group and get a garage and not talk-especially about unconscious critical bias

I kept archives of the things known people have said on this thread. It. Is. Something. I thought about tweeting them bc it really demonstrates how many theater people who thought these things didn’t exist have learned and shifted their song. Which is a good thing. So I won’t

Man im so excited for theater to come back...eventually https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😭" title="Loudly crying face" aria-label="Emoji: Loudly crying face">
